Our ancestors

The King, accompanied by his two children and followed by his loyal guard Mojiaer, walked along the corridor inside the palace.

The group remained silent, as if an inexplicable pressure was looming over them.

That's indeed the case.

With enemy troops about to besiege the city, the Kingdom once again faces the crisis of destruction.

This time, the North Empire didn't have many troublesome Kingdom around, allowing the Gabriel Kingdom to catch its breath.

The rise of the North Empire was truly astonishing. Just a few hundred years ago, it was nothing more than a North Kingdom, yet it suddenly rose to power.

However, everyone was quite understanding.

The current emperor of the North Empire, Rob Nufaluo, is a military genius and a genius among those Sequence User Transcendent abilities. He leads the Kingdom's army in campaigns across the country, conquering cities and territories, and has built a vast empire that is now considered one of the strongest in the world, alongside the Southern Empire.

These are undeniable achievements, laid bare before the world, leaving no room for doubt or awe.

The corridor gradually became dark and deep. Annatania was still a little girl after all. Although she was a princess and Sequence User, and was more mature and sensible than the average girl, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared in such an environment.

She gripped her brother's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she asked.

"Father, where are we going? I've never been to this place before."

King Faniji Gabriel felt a pang of jealousy upon seeing his daughter's reaction.

The little girl actually grabbed her brother, not her father.

He was now somewhat regretful that he had been so focused on handling the Kingdom's affairs and saving the country from destruction that he had neglected his daughter.

In the end...

The country was destined to perish, and even his daughter was no longer close to him.

He gave a bitter smile, then quickly composed himself and smiled gently.

"Anna, don't be afraid. What I'm about to show you is one of the greatest secrets of my Gabriel Family. Generally, it's only revealed to the next King when the previous King is dying."

He sighed as he finished speaking.

"However, at this point, this rule is no longer important; the Kingdom is about to..."

He didn't say the two "annihilation" words, and continued.

"You should know this by now."

"Oh, I understand, Father."

Annatania nodded obediently and walked on silently.

After walking for a long time, the group suddenly found themselves in a brightly lit area, where an ancient yet very well-maintained palace appeared before them.

Two Sequence User, clad in black robes, stood Jingjing outside the palace.

Upon the King's arrival, they greeted him respectfully.

Your King.

"Guardians, I wish to bring my son and daughter here to see you."

"The King said."

"Your Majesty, this is against ancestral rules."

The two men in black robes shook their heads in refusal.

"Guardians, our nation is about to perish. I want my descendants to never forget the oath of our ancestors."

Upon hearing this, the two black-robed guards sighed, and the older one spoke first.

"Please come in, Your King, Your Highness, and Your Highness. You are right, the Kingdom is doomed, and we should no longer follow those strict rules of our ancestors."

The two black-robed guards stepped aside, and the palace doors swung open with a roar, letting in a dazzling golden light.

The King did not go in, but spoke to the guard in black robes.

"Guardians of the Lundaosen Family, the Kingdom is on the verge of collapse. Your family has never appeared before the world, and even the empire knows nothing about you."

"From today onwards, there is no need for guards here. You may leave on your own and protect yourselves."

However, the black-robed guard refused.

"Your Majesty, our ancestors also came from a branch of the Gabriel Family. How can we easily betray the oath of our forefathers? We will guard this place until the very last moment."

"You..."

"Your Majesty, please say no more."

"I see."

The King nodded and walked into the palace with a complicated expression.

Instantly.

A majestic statue appeared before the crowd.

He wore no crown, was dressed in white, and was as plainly as a Farmer, yet inexplicably exuded an unparalleled Monarch aura.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm, gazing at the horizon with a magnanimous air, as if he held the entire world in his heart.

This overwhelming feeling intensely impacted the eyes of the prince and princess.

"Father, who is He?"

Prince Aguli Gabriel was puzzled.

"Was it our ancestor, King Randy Gabriel?"

Annatania Gabriel, however, expressed her anticipation.

The King smiled slightly.

"If only that were true. Unfortunately, our ancestor was merely the commander of His personal guard."

"Ah?!"

The prince and princess covered their mouths, utterly astonished.

Ten thousand years have passed, and history has long since changed beyond recognition.

Even princes and princesses don't know about the ancient times; all that remains in the world are Fabled.

Ancient states rarely recorded their history.

It was only several thousand years ago, with the rise of the "Historiographer" Sequence, that historical records gradually began to appear.

Even as princes and princesses, they weren't entirely clear on the specifics of their ancestors' story.

All I know is that our ancestors worked tirelessly to establish the Kingdom.

His King was not surprised by their expressions, for he had looked the same way the first time he came here.

In ancient times, a King Gabriel chose to erase a part of history in order to conceal the humble origins of his ancestors, leaving later generations unaware of the truth.

He considered this utterly foolish.

Only by remembering humility can a nation become strong.

He continued.

"My son and daughter, this is the Fabled, the one who recreated heaven and earth, who established the ancient kingdoms, the origin of the Jade Nobility, the great Sun King."

"You mean, this person is actually the Fabled Great Sun King?"

The prince was extremely surprised.

The little princess's eyes shone brightly.

"He conquered dragons, paved the Sequence Path, and waged war across the land, yet he remained unmarried, detached from power and wealth, like a saint!"

"Hmm, although the rumors are somewhat exaggerated, they're not far off."

The King smiled, then walked behind the statue, found a hidden compartment, and took out a book made of a special material.

"This is a dragon-skin book that records the story of our Randy Gabriel fighting alongside the Sun King, and contains the most authentic history of His Majesty the Sun King."

He flipped through it slightly; the dragon-skin book was of very high quality, unlikely to decay even after ten thousand years. He casually read a sentence.

"The Great King established the Sequence ' Farmer,' ' Artisan,' ' Merchant,' 'Citizen,' ' Rebel,' ' Hunter,' ' Servant,' and so on."

"Wait, Father. We've never heard of these Sequence before."

"No, you've heard of him; he's still cultivating."

The King laughed heartily.

"The Sun King always insisted that he was the son of a farmer, so the names of his Sequence are very, well, down-to-earth."

"But now, like you, Aguli, your ' Son of the Earth ' Sequence is the same as the ' Farmer ' Sequence created by the original Sun King."

"And you, Anna, your ' Merchant ' Sequence is the ' Merchant ' Sequence created by the Sun King."
